Niiza Craft to Exhibit at the Curry & Beer Festival at Fujisawa Sun Pearl Plaza from May 22
Niiza Craft from Niiza City, Saitama, will exhibit at "CURRY & BEER FESTIVAL in Fujisawa" held at Sun Pearl Plaza in front of Fujisawa Station from May 22 to 24, 2026. The free-admission venue will host an early-summer event centered on curry and craft beer.
Hop BroFrom May 22 to 24, there's the CURRY & BEER FESTIVAL at Sun Pearl Plaza in front of Fujisawa Station. Niiza Craft will be there too, so it's a pretty hot topic for early-summer bar-hopping.
MugiWait, admission is free!? A curry and beer festival is basically a box full of happiness!
Hop BroExactly. Craft beer and curry will be lined up at the venue, so the flow from your first drink is perfect. There'll also be sweets and retort curry, so it'll become a team battle for your stomach.
MugiA team battle? What does that even mean! But I'm curious, if it's right by the station, does that mean you can just go on a whim?
Hop BroThat's exactly the strength of it. On the 22nd there's a pre-opening from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on the 23rd and 24th you can enjoy it from noon onward, so it's easy to stop by after work or on the weekend.
MugiWhat kind of brewery is Niiza Craft? I kind of know the name, but it feels like there's a background rooted in the local area!
Hop BroThat's the good part. It was born in Niiza City, Saitama in 2021, and its parent company is a local business with more than 40 years behind it. I think you can really taste the story of starting a beer business as a way to give back to the community.
MugiWow, that's cool! And they even use ingredients from Niiza!? Even though it's beer, it really gives off that local love!
Hop BroExactly. For example, they keep brewing with local ingredients, like using carrot leaves. In technical terms, the aroma and finish carry the "character of the land," and that's what's interesting.
MugiHmm, my head is kind of full of this "character of the land" thing right now, but basically you're saying it's tasty, right?
Hop BroBasically, yes. This time it pairs perfectly with curry too, so the real highlight is the fun of comparing different drinks. Drinking beer grown in Niiza in Fujisawa also gives it a bit of a travel vibe.
MugiThen I have no choice but to go! With curry and one drink, my early summer is going to be complete!
Hop BroThat's settled then. If you have curry in Fujisawa and pair it with a Niiza Craft beer, you'll want to toast right away.
MugiYeah, just reading it makes my throat ring! A weekend drink like that is definitely going to be delicious!
Niiza Craft will exhibit at "CURRY & BEER FESTIVAL in Fujisawa," held at Sun Pearl Plaza in front of Fujisawa Station from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24, 2026. Admission is free, and the venue is expected to feature craft beer, original curry, sweets booths, and a retort curry fair booth.
The event is a food festival that draws attention every year as a gathering combining curry and beer. The 2026 schedule is a pre-opening on the 22nd from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., on the 23rd from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on the 24th from 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The venue is Sun Pearl Plaza in front of Fujisawa Station, and its easily accessible location right by the station is another attraction.
Niiza Craft is a brewery based in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture, and was founded in July 2021. Its parent company is a photomask design and manufacturing firm that has been doing business in Niiza for more than 40 years, and the craft beer business was launched as a way to give back to the local community. On its official website, the brewery also highlights efforts toward local production for local consumption and the SDGs, and it continues brewing with local ingredients, such as using carrot leaves from Niiza.
This appearance in Fujisawa should become an opportunity to bring beer grown in Niiza to beer fans in Kanagawa. Comparing different beers while keeping their pairing with curry in mind will likely be one of the pleasures unique to this event.
